Residential Property Prospects 2017 – 2020

After experiencing an APRA-led fall in 2015/16, investor lending activity has again been rising since the end of 2016 in response to reductions in interest rates and a rising eagerness by banks to lend to investors.

House price growth has also begun to return, mainly in Sydney and Melbourne, but also in Hobart and Canberra. However, banks have again tightened lending policy to investors in response to further APRA guidelines introduced in April 2017. Will this initiate another slowdown in investor activity and prices? How will the other cities perform, particularly those where the downturn in resource sector spending is having an impact?

In the meantime, is the upturn in residential construction taking the residential market into oversupply, and in which states? Will the impact be different across the house and unit markets? Which cities will offer the best prospects over the next three years?

Residential Property Prospects 2017 – 2020 is a comprehensive report that provides a detailed and independent view of the fundamentals of the residential market and how they interact to drive activity and price growth across the different state markets. Forecasts are based on current and emerging trends, rather than media commentary around the 24 hour news cycle, with a three year outlook aimed to identify turning points in the market with a view to understand where price growth is likely to be, rather than where it is already occurring.
